1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), is a rare autosomal dominant connective tissue disease with a prevalence of 1 in 2 million. It is characterized by congenital foot deformities and multiple heterotopic ossifications in fibrous tissue. It usually starts with painful soft tissue swellings occurring with attacks at the ages of three or four. The attacks develop spontaneously or after minor trauma, and gradually turn into heterotopic ossifications that cause joint limitations, growth defects, skeletal deformities and chronic pain. The average life expectancy is forthy, and most of the patients are lost due to pulmonary complications. FOP is often misdiagnosed as fibromatosis, desmoid tumour or cancer, bunion, myositis, arthritis and rheumatic diseases. After clinical suspicion, confirmatory genetic analysis should be used for the diagnosis. The treatment of FOP is currently supportive. An effective, proven method has not yet been established. Herein, we present an 18-year-old female patient with FOP who underwent different treatment modalities in a 5-year period. This case-based review reveals all available treatment approaches with at least 6-month follow-up for FOP in the literature.
